Thank you for your interest in volunteering for one of the DSC's access-ability Saturday sailing sessions. They cannot be run without volunteer support and commitment. This is the training session in preparation for the big dance! 

We will be meeting at 9am in the liberty room (3rd floor of the BMI Office Building.) We will run a disabilities awareness session, go over the new Accessible Volunteer Manual and training resources.  If the weather is good we will do a quick dock run through of a typical Saturday, practice all of the important steps and run a Transfer Training. We will wrap up around noon. 

Due to weather we will not be holding a skipper checkout. However please email Stuart or Johanna if you would like to do a skipper checkout specifically for Accessible Events. 

The DSC typically needs volunteers to fill the following positions:
  • rigger and de-rigger of boats
  • sailing buddies
  • greeters
  • transfer aids
  • safety boat operator
  • safety boat coach
  • J22 and sonar skippers to take participants out on the day fleet boats 
  • cruising skippers to take participants out on the DSC cruising fleet
  • Escorts
We will go over each of the roles at the training session; however, if you are interested in learning about a specific role feel free to call the office at 410-727-0772 or email the volunteer coordinator Johanna Murphy johanna@downtownsailing.org or for questions regarding skipper/crew roles or the fleet, contact Stuart Proctor the DSC Programs and Education Manager at stuart@downtownsailing.org
